Chapter 1186: Blocking the Road

Killing a high-level politician is something that needs to be very cautious at any time, because this is not a good "start".

When a political group starts to use physical means to solve those political enemies, their political enemies will also start to consider using physical means to solve them.

"Terrorist politics" and "bullet politics" have always been what politicians try to avoid. After all, the human body is so weak, and there is not much resistance when facing bullets, assassinations, and various "accidents".

You can use this kind of means, others can too, and you don't know when those people will use what kind of means to take away your life.

The purpose of maintaining rules is not to better constrain others, but to let the power of rules protect oneself who has not left the scope of rules.

So when Lans proposed the assumption that "if he encountered an accident", Senator Cleveland's first thought was to refuse, but soon he frowned again.

The Senate seat is very important, determining whether the Shehui Party can stabilize its position in the next four years.

Although the six seats of the Federal Party and the Labor Party are "volatile", can be bought, and sway, but you can't always buy these people for everything, and on some proposals that may be contrary to their positions, they cannot be bought.

The veto power of one vote has great value in politics. As long as it can be vetoed, it can balance the political forces between parties.

Therefore, this seat in Denuozhou is very important, and more importantly, if Governor Wei De does not pay some price after betraying them, it will also set a bad precedent.

Others will feel... maybe it was just his bad luck this time, and if it were themselves, they might have better luck, so they will try to make some transactions behind their backs.

The next few years will inevitably be the era of the Ziyou Party. They master the policies and implementation of those big directions, plus the change of governors, it is difficult to let some Shehui Party governors who are eager to continue sitting in the position of governor make some adjustments.

They can even find reasons for doing so—I am not disloyal to the Shehui Party, I just want to hold on to the position of governor and not give Ziyou Party candidates any chance!

Even in areas controlled by the Shehui Party, the Ziyou Party Committee can nominate a Ziyou Party person to become a candidate for governor of the state, and there are also people voting for Ziyou Party members in the Shehui Party's territory.

People are very complex, this is very normal.

Then they make some changes that don't look fatal in order to ensure that their position is not shaken, which seems to become very reasonable.

Must give him a lesson!

Several gentlemen in the room did not speak, because whether it is refusal or agreement, it actually needs to bear a certain responsibility.

Including Senator Cleveland, he also did not speak.

Until the end, the committee chairman coughed. "Look at the situation first. If he decides to break with us and go on another path, no matter which one, as long as he is not on the same path as us."

"Then...", he looked at Lans, without continuing to speak, but his attitude was already very obvious.

Lans nodded slightly. "I will let him understand the price he needs to pay, which is a heavy or even life-threatening price that he cannot bear."

The committee chairman was suddenly surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face. "Jiefu has always said that you are very smart, I have never believed it, I am very sorry that I have such a bad stereotype, this is my problem."

"You are very interesting, Lans, it is just as you imagined, and please do so accordingly."

The committee chairman did not say in detail what to do. As a top politician, he knows the importance of not revealing "flaws".

If Wei De's matter triggers some strong emotions, then he can say that it was Lans who misunderstood the meaning, so it led to such serious consequences.

People can't possibly say that it was him because of such a small means of throwing the pot. People will only vent their anger on Lans, even if they know this matter, Lans is just an executor.

¤￠O

The game of the superiors is like this. There are always those people on the top of the mountain, but the tools in their hands are changed batch after batch.

But Lans made it very clear, obviously he didn't want to bear this responsibility, and he couldn't bear it.

So he simply made it clear, so when someone makes trouble, he can ask back—"Since I misunderstood the meaning, why didn't you correct me?"

This is also the reason why the Shehui Party Committee chairman laughed. He glanced at Senator Cleveland. "Then... let's do this first. I will go back and contact Wei De first, and then you wait for my notice."

After leaving the office of the Shehui Party Committee, Senator Cleveland got into Lans's car.

His car is also bulletproof, but it is not as luxurious and "new" as Lans's car. This bulletproof car was bought a few months ago, with the latest bulletproof technology and safety technology.

Even using poisonous smoke or something is useless. The entire car uses two sets of circulation systems, and it takes about twenty or thirty seconds for the outside air to enter the car.

At any time, you can directly cut off this process, and then use internal oxygen supply, which can ensure that people in the car will not suffocate to death because of the closed environment within an hour.

To put it simply, its defense has been upgraded.

Higher grade, safer, and the experience of riding is also better.

"Your performance just now was very good. We also need to bear the responsibility that belongs to us. It is no problem for us to bear it ourselves."

"But the responsibility of others should not be borne by us."

He lit a cigarette and opened some windows. "I don't know much about Wei De, but I know that since he made a decision, even if the chairman calls him, it won't be of any use."

"You have to be prepared, when necessary...", he took a puff of smoke, his gaze stayed on the prosperous streets outside the car window and those pedestrians.

The daytime New Jincheng is very lively and prosperous, but it is not as good-looking as after night falls, because after night falls, the neon lights flicker, which will dye this city into strange appearances, making people unable to recognize its original appearance.

It is lively during the day, but it lacks a feeling that is not easy to describe, that kind of atmosphere, ethereal, elusive.

He looked for a while, and after taking two or three puffs of smoke, he turned his head to look at Lans, his face a bit cold. "... then kill him."

Lans's mood was also very calm. "I don't have any problems, just a little worried about whether others will make trouble."

Just like the "punishment does not go up to the doctor" in another world, doing so will trigger people's hostility.

Senator Cleveland took another puff of smoke. "As long as they have no evidence, I can guarantee that you are absolutely safe."

"Chairman... over there...", he laughed twice, his eyes a bit intriguing. "After all, he is old. You know, people become much more tolerant after they are old, and they will choose that gentle response when facing some problems."

"Don't worry about him."

When Lans sent Senator Cleveland back, the committee chairman had already dialed Governor Wei De's phone number.

"Wei De?"

"It's me, Zuo En."

"Chairman?", Governor Wei De didn't seem surprised by the call from the committee chairman. The moment he made the decision, he knew what he was going to face next.

"Yes, Wei De."

"The chairman of the Denuozhou Shehui Party Representative Committee called me earlier. Because of work reasons, I only handled this matter now."

"He told me that there are several Ziyou Party candidates in the senator candidate list you submitted."

Governor nomination, legislature review, the federal government always does this, making all people who don't understand federal politics feel that they are really a free, fair, equal, no corruption and human relationship, and no dictatorial government.

But in fact, it is not like this at all, otherwise there would not be such a phone call.

In the past, the governor basically would not nominate Ziyou Party candidates. Even if he wanted to nominate, it was a role that people never knew, completely belonging to accompanying the run, maybe getting sick or something halfway through and withdrawing from the election.

But this time, Governor Wei De's nomination was very formal, which has posed a threat to the Shehui Party's seats. This is not "accompanying the run", this is betrayal!

Governor Wei De seemed unable to hear the dissatisfaction and that trace of heaviness in the committee chairman's tone. His voice even carried some laughter. "I considered it this way, Chairman."

"The fairness and freedom of the election have always been what we pursue. Recently I realized that in Denuozhou for a long time, ten years, twenty years, the number of Ziyou Party members in our congressional candidate list added up to only three."

"This is actually a very bad practice. People will think that we used some dirty means in the election issue, and I believe that in Denuozhou, this base of the Shehui Party, even if Ziyou Party candidates are nominated, voters will continue to support our people."

"Doing so can not only tell everyone that even if we lost the victory of this general election, our ruling power over our inherent forces has not declined,"

"Don't you believe that the candidates we nominated can defeat our opponents in the election?"

The chairman listened and was silent for a while. "You are very good at talking, Wei De, but no matter how good you are at talking, you can't change this fact."

"You nominated Ziyou Party congressional candidates when we were at our worst, making us passive in the competition for power in Congress, this is a fact."

"You betrayed us, betrayed all members of the Shehui Party."

Governor Wei De hummed twice after listening. "Chairman, I have never betrayed anyone. I have no reason to do so, and I don't need to do so."

He said and paused, and other sounds came from the receiver. "Sorry, Chairman, I have work to do here. When I have time later, I will call you again."

"I'm sorry."

The chairman knew this was his excuse, he just didn't want to talk to himself anymore, but he couldn't make that kind of completely tearing the face.

Of course, the most critical thing is that even if the face is torn, it is useless, so he could only hum, "I know.", and then hung up the phone first.

His face was very ugly. The words Wei De said in the phone that seemed respectful but were actually arrogant made him feel a burst of anger in his heart.

At his status, class, he rarely had such angry times. At this time, that anger turned into a desire for destruction. He clenched his fists tightly without doing those shameful things.

Even if he was gritting his teeth now, he wished he could fiercely throw the things he could touch on the ground!

After a while, his whole person suddenly exhaled, and his tense body relaxed. Lans's words rang in his mind.

Indeed, in extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used, otherwise these people will not understand that they are playing with fire!

On the other side, the expression of Governor Wei De after putting down the phone was not as smiling as the chairman imagined. He also knew very well that he had no solid relationship with the Shehui Party here, and both sides were just maintaining the most basic decency, only one step away from tearing the face.

But he also had his own ideas. Now many cities in Denuozhou do not support himself, and those who seem to support himself are also hard to say whether they really support himself.

Because of the profit problem of wine, after the two sides broke up, some cities were still supporting Lans, about 40% to 50%, and the rest were their opposite parties before, and now they all defected to Governor Wei De.

This is a very subtle situation. To put it more bluntly, if he wants to seek re-election as governor, it may not be easy, unless he can cooperate with Lans again.

Under the promotion of a large amount of funds, continue to serve as the governor of this state, but it is difficult.

With Lans's friendly relationship with the high-level of the Shehui Party, the high-level of the Shehui Party is very likely not to support him to continue to run for governor, which means his "dynasty" has not yet begun to fall.

He cannot accept such a result, but he needs funds and political power support. The Shehui Party cannot rely on it, so he can only find ways to get some help from the Ziyou Party.

In terms of funds, in terms of political power, as long as he can support him to continue the election, then even if he changes camps with some people, what?

Even if he cannot change Denuozhou from a Shehui Party state to a Ziyou Party state, he can insert a nail here.

In the past when the Shehui Party was in power, one more seat or one less seat didn't represent anything, but when the Ziyou Party was in power, one seat represented who was the real "strong".

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a bit emotional when this moment came.

After being a Shehui Party member for most of his life, suddenly changing camps, if you want to blame, you can only blame Lans. If it weren't for him being too focused on interests and willing to take out the money he earned to share, these things would not happen.

In the final analysis, all this is Lans's fault.

In the evening, after returning to the manor, Lans called Erwen to ask about the specific sales situation in Denuozhou now.

"Half and half." Erwen's tone was a bit awkward. "I have tried my best to develop, but this matter is a bit difficult to do."

"Even if I offer better returns to those mayors, they refuse to talk to us about wine entering."

Now Denuozhou has become a "deformity". The deformity is that wine wants to enter a city to sell, which has nothing to do with local gangs, but with the mayor.

This seems to have become a "hidden rule" here. The mayor nodded and agreed, and the wine could enter the city to sell, otherwise the entire underground world of the city would come to encircle their wine.

Wanting the mayor to nod, just giving money is not enough now, and we have to find ways to persuade Governor Wei De.

Erwen has not dealt with Governor Wei De directly, and Governor Wei De does not attach much importance to Erwen. In his view, the only person in the Lans family worth attaching importance to is Lans.

But he has already broken up with Lans, so naturally he will not talk anymore.

Without the large amount of profit provided by Lans, he is also very tight now, and can only continue to ask for rebates from other suppliers to support some of his plans.

Wanting to turn the entire state into the "traditional sphere of influence" of the Wei De family, the funds and power needed to invest are simply not what the current Wei De family can afford.

Under various predicaments, he can only choose to change camps. Only by doing so can he obtain more benefits.

Erwen has been presiding over the overall situation in Denuozhou for two years, and he has also become "sensitive" in smell. "Did something happen?"

Lans did not hide it from him. There is no need to hide this kind of thing. Soon the Shehui Party will discuss it, and the Ziyou Party will also take the initiative to publicize it.

After all, the "lack of unity" of the Shehui Party is a good propaganda material for the Ziyou Party.

Listening to Lans's simple narration of the current situation, Erwen asked. "Then... do you need me to arrange for someone to send him money?"

Lans gave him a negative answer. "Even if you carry a hundred million over now, he won't accept it, and he won't dare to accept it. After all, he hasn't done these things for long. As an enemy, we send money over. Unless he has a mental problem, he will definitely not accept it."

"But we have to make a statement, do you understand what I mean?"

"You can ask people to carry a few boxes over openly, so it will be convenient for me to say to people here that he is very vigilant and not easily fooled."

"By then they will use more extreme methods."

"Wei De, this guy caused us to lose so much profit, it is time to let him pay the price."

"Figure out the situation of his family, keep an eye on those people, and then wait for my news."

Erwen agreed, but also had some worries. "Isn't it said... that you can't just move against officials of this level?"

Lans laughed twice. "But he blocked the road of officials bigger than him!" ===== CHAPTER 1187 =====
